Managing Design Complexity to Improve on Cost, Quality, Variety, and Time{to{Market Performance Variables
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper contains a model of waste elimination through design. It argues for the importance of managing design complexity in improving cost, quality, variety, and time{to{market performance variables. Management of design complexity is identi ̄ed with creation, choice, and application of design problem representations, divisions of design labor, and product architectures that provably eliminate waste. The paper's thesis is illustrated with a comparison of Toyota's technology strategy (based on waste elimination) to that of General Motors (based on frontier{shifting investment). JEL classi ̄cation numbers: C69, D20, L23, O32, M19.

Time, cost and quality are considered as the main components in managing each project. Previous researches have mainly focused on the time-cost trade-off problems. Recently quality is considered as the most important factor in project�s success, which is influenced by time acceleration that is the less time is spent the more success is gained. In time-cost-quality trade-off problems, each act...
متن کاملA Fast Block Size Decision For Intra Coding in HEVC Standard
Intra coding in High efficiency video coding (HEVC) can significantly improve the compression efficiency using 35 intra-prediction modes for 2N×2N (N is an integer number ranging from six to two) luma blocks. To find the luma block with the minimum rate-distortion, it must perform 11932 different rate-distortion cost calculations. Although this approach improves coding efficiency compared to th...
